I was driving my vehicle and the red oil light came on and the car stopped. I tried to start again but not start. What could be happened to the car?

Hi,

The oil light most likely came on after it stalled indicating no oil pressure. Many things can cause this, a bad fuel pump, crankshaft position sensor, ignition related issues and so on. Lets start simple. Here is a link that explains the most common causes of a crank no start condition. Take a look through it and let me know if it helps. Also, if you have access to a scanner, see if there are diagnostic trouble codes stored.

Let me know,

Hi,

The idea that there is no cam signal indicates an sensor or electrical issue. Because there isn't a signal indicating timing issues between the cam and crank sensors leads me to believe it isn't a timing belt. Have you checked the sensor connections, wiring, and so on?
